The first few days of fall-like weather should be celebrated with fresh baked sweet rolls! I am so excited, I got to pull out my sweaters this weekend & dust off my favourite fall boots. I started making a few batches of my favourite fall stews too & baked a fresh batch of these sweet rolls! While they may look like cinnamon rolls they are much more than that, these are cookie butter flavoured.

That’s right, cookie butter! Lorann oils launched the most delicious cookie butter bakery emulsion & I want to put it in everything. I used it in the dough, the filling & a touch in the frosting. For the filling, I also pulled from all the warm spices that make cookie butter so amazing, such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves & nutmeg. Move these to the top of your fall baking list! Your kitchen will smell amazing as they bake.
